The position is that we compiled approximately 300 cases from various sources. Many of them were dealt with through elements of the legal process over many years. In order to assess these cases and because of the serious nature of many, a legal panel was set up and given the responsibility to go through all of the files. This process is not being conducted by an individual Member of this House. There are 300 cases involved. It is not for me to say why any member of the family of anybody the Deputy mentioned has not been contacted by the legal team, but I am quite sure that will happen. The team has not yet concluded its work on all 300 cases. In cases where it has concluded and presented its findings, the Minister will commence writing to the families involved shortly. She has already made it clear that she is quite happy to meet members of the family of the late Fr. Molloy, if they so wish. Perhaps my memory is not as faulty as the Deputy imagines it is.
